Cumberland Farms negotiated a court-approved settlement in which the company admitted to the violations and agreed to pay a civil penalty of $150,000. It must also undertake a compliance plan to ensure the company follows state regulations regarding underground gas storage tanks.

The Agency of Natural Resources found the violations during regular inspections of Cumberland Farms facilities in Barre, Montpelier, Morrisville, Northfield, Fairlee, Lyndon, Newport, St. Johnsbury, and Woodstock, the attorney general’s office said.
